The historic City of Melbourne Bowls Club is located within the picturesque Flagstaff Gardens, adjacent to Melbourne's legal precinct and Queen Victoria Market.

The bowls club's home has been in the gardens since 1879, and their new state of the art, six-energy star clubhouse has recently reopened. Facilities cater to adults, children, families, young people, older adults and people with disabilities.

Come down to the club on Mondays for Chatty Cafe, and enjoy a cuppa and a casual chat with people of all ages and interests.

The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection they have maintained to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

We accept the invitation in the Uluru Statement from the Heart and are committed to walking together to build a better future. For more information, visit Aboriginal Melbourne.
